Thread: Metroid Prime

  1. and to the 99% of the faggots on this board that said up to a month ago even, that game game was going to suck i say FUCK YOU ALL

  2. Well, I just picked this up myself. No impressions or anything, but damn, the control setup is really annoying me. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but, I really think they could have used the standard fps setup for consoles. It seems like they sort-of went out of their way to be different.

  3. Once you play for a while, you realize that the standard FPS control scheme would not have worked

  4. In regards to the scanner, how much info comes up? I keep getting the image that I'm going to walk into a room, scan stuff and end up reading a couple pages worth of monotonous text before going to the next room.

    I don't want to read about the same shit over and over [/end nervous rant]

    I totally agree! The C stick is good for shit. They could have given an option to use a standard FPS scheme. When I first heard that it was going to be a FPS I thought it would suck. As time went on I figured Nintendo wouldn't release a shit game so it wouldn't suck but could it be Metroid? After finally playing it I must say that I stand by my decision of Nintendo quality, but not really Metroid. It's going to take alot more then some nastalgia to make me buy into the hype. The control scheme sucks donkey balls. There is absolutely no way to turn around fast. No matter how you slice it Metroid had some fast paced, hectic battles and I'm not just talking about bosses. Thank god that Fusion is out, at least I can get a real Metroid fix. Cosider me hugely disappointed. I will try to continue but if it doesn't pick up( really fucking quick ) it's going back.

  6. I *LOVE* this game. Everything about it, but there is one thing that I just cant get over. How amazing the sound and music are. It gave me incredible chills when Samus' ship is docking at the beginning, and it started playing the music from the opening of Super Metroid. And then after she jumps out, it plays the old "materialize" music. It just got me so into the game right there, thats all it took. Not to mention the remixed main area music it plays on "Tallon IV" surface thats from the first metroid. Good stuff.

    It sure would have worked better than using the L trigger to look around. It can really be a pain in the ass sometimes. The C stick isn't used at all, so why not also give gamers the option to use it for that?

  8. It's growing on me, first it was "eh"...but now it's "I need to get back quickly". The story in the manual, is alot of this new story stuff? Didn't know Samus was raised by the Chozo, that part gives some nice depth into the story. Also, one of the Space Pirates journals is called the Fall of Zebes. Is that refering to Super Metroid (thought this game takes place between the first and second game)?
    This game IS Metroid.

    I've played for a few hours, and I don't see why the C-Stick couldn't have been used to manipulate the camera, at least in open areas. But it isn't hindering my enjoyment any.

    There's no way you can call this anything but Metroid in 3D. It may not be optimal control-wise, but it's pure Metroid.

    My interpretation is that is referring to the original Metroid.

    The Super Metroid comic in Nintendo Power mentioned that she was raised by chozos. If you wanna check it out, I'm sure you can download it from The Metroid Database.
